Things I’m certain of

It's going to be beans that inherit the earth

Trust me on this one. They are some kind of driven.

Baby onions are so cute! I love the mild oniony smell of them too.

Radishes will be right behind the beans, urging them on to victory.

Rutabaga seedlings are so cute I could just plotz.

Finally, if you try to take pictures of the Asian greens seedlings, the dog will show up. With a ball. That she'll drop in the garden. Guaranteed.

Phew, made it!

The months of January, February, March can feel a bit long and dark. Especially when there are no long weekends in them. This weekend was the cure for that, thank you Easter! I’m extra lucky as I had Good Friday and Easter Monday off. Four days of no work. Magic.

Okay, I say no work, but that’s not really true. There was weeding, planting, and prepping veggie beds:

Bad cell phone picis of sock knitting in the passport office lineup:

I’m truly almost an adult now. I have applied for my passport. Soon I shall be allowed to wander the earth. Okay, actually I got the passport so I could go to Sock Summit. What? Portland is part of the earth!

Figured out my next quilt top:

And had some carb crazy friends over for dinner, cupcakes, and a little television watching. Oh, and the cupcakes? Chocolate with a mini Easter Creme egg baked into each one, and topped with vanilla butter cream icing. Mmmmmm.

We were all very distressed that Vancouver lost to Chicago last night. To make ourselves feel better we watched Zombieland afterwards. Double tap!
